Two El Paso brothers were sworn into the U.S. Coast Guard on Saturday. It was a unique celebration for the Borderland as the military branch has not sworn in anyone in El Paso for years.

Aaron and Adam Hernandez called it an honor to be sworn in front of their family and friends at San Jacinto Plaza, a special ceremony for them and the Coast Guard itself.

A lieutenant was flown in from Washington D.C. to swear them in. The U.S. Coast Guard closed their recruitment office here in El Paso nearly 10 years ago.

The brothers said they've always thought about serving in the military and the Coast Guard suited what they were looking for.
Congratulations boys and thank you for your service!🇺🇸

If you think you’re having a bad day, spare a thought for the captain who somehow managed to stick this massive ship sideways into the Suez Canal in Egypt and blocked it into literal gridlock. He’s currently costing every seafaring nation of Earth millions of dollars!😳😬

WHAT’S UP EL PASO!?!?

ARE YA’ll READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL!?🏈

Team owner and head coach Craig Thomas and Director of Operations Anabel Romero are anxiously waiting for their West Texas Buccaneers Pro Arena Football Team to kick off their inaugural season on March 27, 2021, 7:00 p.m., at the El Paso County Coliseum Pavilion. They hope that their excitement as well as the players, brings out the community, football fans, and sports fans to their first game. Other than the Pandemic, a big obstacle facing the Buccaneers are reducing the number of fan attendance that was necessary, in order to accommodate a Covid-19 vaccine station/location that was set up inside the El Paso County Coliseum to provide services to the El Paso community.

Round of applause and let’s show the Buccaneers some El Paso love and support!!!👏🏽🏈

When 149 migrants were escorted onto a bridge by U.S. Border Patrol agents, they had no idea where they were being taken. Many collapsed, crying, when they learned they were back in Mexico.

CIUDAD JUÁREZ, Mexico — They came in groups of 30, children dangling from adults’ arms, escorted on Thursday afternoon by United States Border Patrol agents across the Paso del Norte bridge until they reached the halfway point. Then, they were handed off to Mexican authorities.

“Where are we?” one father asked a journalist with The New York Times.

“Ciudad Juárez,” came the reply.

The father, who hadn’t been told by U.S. officials where he and the rest of the group of migrants were being taken, looked bewildered.

“Mexico,” the journalist clarified.

Faces contorted from confusion to anguish. Many of the parents started sobbing, tears of frustration falling on the children they cradled.

“They cheated us!” yelled one parent.

“They promised they would help us!” wailed another.

Most of the 149 migrants being taken across the bridge on Thursday had crossed into the United States from Reynosa, a border city in northern Mexico, where they had been detained by U.S. Border Patrol officers. They were then flown 600 miles to El Paso, Texas, where they were put on buses, driven to the border and walked to the bridge.

None were informed they were being sent back into Mexico.

As they walked across the bridge connecting El Paso to Ciudad Juárez, it dawned on them that everything they had risked on their journey — their lives, the well-being of their children, the loans they had bankrupted themselves to take out to be smuggled into the United States — was falling apart.
